General presentation
Xingtai et monts Taihang
Limestone gorges, villages and memory of one of the oldest Chinese cities occupy the southwest of Hebei.
Xingtai Grand Canyon, Xingtai Mount Tiantai and Xingtai Museum give the most telling landmarks of Xingtai and Taihang Mountains. Together, they form a destination where urban life, mountain reliefs, forests and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature and panorama
Grand canyon de Xingtai
Falaise, torrents and trails cut the eastern slope of the Taihang Mountains. Distances, weather and access conditions must be checked prior to departure; water, adapted footwear and time limits remain useful outside the cities.
Place indismissible
Mont Tiantai de Xingtai
Stairs and small sanctuaries gain a rocky relief overlooking the plain. Distances, weather and access conditions must be checked prior to departure; water, adapted shoes and hourly margins remain useful outside the cities.
Museum
Musée de Xingtai
The museum traces urban history, ancient kingdoms and regional archaeology. The collections and remains take time to go beyond a mere photographic stop; a visit helps to understand their regional historical context.
